One Hour, Time's a Coming!
One hour.

Sixty minutes.

Three thousand six hundred seconds.

The time is fast approaching when a slide show of reported combat fatalities' photos at a rate of one per second, will take one hour to view.

Stop please, and think about that for a moment.

An hour at one photo per second.

I'm Ill.

4. Time a second.
Click on a photo link and minimize your browser. Then click the task bar button to pop it up, say "one mississippi" and click it again.

That's how long you have to recognize the face of the fallen.

For an hour.

Thanks for the kind words.

6. Yes, dead from lies.
I fear we haven't hit the steep slope yet, but the rate is picking up I hear. How many hours when this business is finished?

10. If you looked at each photo for 24 seconds - you would be looking at photos for 24 hours.
Edited on Wed Apr-11-07 11:13 PM by file83
Just 24 seconds to look at their eyes, wonder who they were, what there dreams might have been, what their children's eyes might or might have looked like.

Then on to the next photo.

For 24 hours.

14. For any that might have missed it, here is a "dot" graphic showing
Iraq coalition casualties by location over time. Not pictures but dots, with click sounds for each.
